I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realizing and recognizing.
You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies. Even down to Taylor Swift — one of the biggest artists in the world — you watch one of her shows and she has two or three different demonic rituals to do with the pentagrams on the ground, to do with all sorts of stuff on her stage. … But to a lot of people it’s just art and that’s how people are seeing it, unfortunately.
When it comes to a lot of the music that’s out there at the moment — more of the hip-hop side of things — there is a lot of hidden satanic and a lot of evil within them, including down to the beats. It’s very real.
Music attaches to your emotions. It has a connection to your spirit and how you feel. That’s why I’ve stopped listening to those types of music myself because it doesn’t suit my spirit.
It 100 percent has an effect on society. I think our society has never been worse in many areas, and it starts from our children.
It’s coming in right at our children from the very beginning to get them to sway away from anything Godly, anything controlled or disciplined. It’s getting wilder and wilder out there for a reason. … Music is dangerous.

I’m hard pressed to disagree with most of what Shane says. Music does get in people’s heads and nervous systems. Some of them anyway. That it affects mood is hard to deny. Precisely how music affects humans is not understood (yet) which does not diminish evidence of it’s power. Music can pleasure, antagonize, stimulate, relax, sooth, heal, and provoke and inspire.
I am not sure it follows that music is making society worse nor is non Christian music dangerous. I don’t think Taylor Swift or most other performers are Satanists in disguise.

Now I wonder why hip-hop music is more satanic and evil? And what is it about “the beats”? 🤔🤔🤔
It sounds a lot like an old racist trope…
It’s all the same to me if Taylor Swift is Satanic because too many people who preach against pop music turn out to be just as evil. A woman who I work with feels that those people only carry on the way they do to justify their own sins.
Taylor Swift is controversial in Evangelical circles, with many Evangelicals claiming she is one of them, and others asking for her to be hung. See https://medium.com/@belover/is-taylor-swift-a-christian-singer-80ff3113baef .
Those dog whistles are loud and clear, aren’t they?
Some evangelicals are having a really hard time with a popular talented benevolent successful woman, aren’t they? 🤣
Shane Lynch has wedded racist dog whistles (hip hop) with Salem-like hysteria over a woman who is herself.
That’s an accomplishment, I guess. Maybe Lynch can be a speechwriter, or do some other kind of work, for a few Republican politicians I can think of.
